Donation Appeals

We desperately need money donations to help pay for medical bills. This year we have had some incredibly poorly dogs that need alot of medical treatment and surgery. Each year our vets bills grow with the number of dogs needing extra medical care. We can only continue to support as many dogs as we do with the funds to do so. To find out how to donate please click here.

Our Special Princess Cavaliers

We have 11 cavaliers which have all come to us in unimaginable condition. All these beautiful girls need food, treats and medical treatment.

Can you help by donating the price of a coffee to give these girls the treatment they need?
